National Review’s Andrew McCarthy is more familiar with radical Islam than your average person. He had to be. He was the lead attorney on the team that prosecuted Omar Abdel Rahman, the “Blind Sheikh,” way back in 1995.
McCarthy and I got together to talk about his new book, “The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left [...]
Interviewing Andrew McCarthy About Radical Islam
Talking About Rush Limbaugh’s Personal Life With Zev Chafets
Zev Chafets is the author of Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One. Chafets wrote the book with Limbaugh’s cooperation and it gave him a fascinating window into Limbaugh’s world. So, as someone who has been a Rush fan since college, I was really looking forward to talking to Chafets.
What follows is a slightly edited version [...]
Why I Denied David Frum’s Website A Spot In The Blogads Conservative Hive
It’s no surprise that a guy like David Frum would be defending Dave Weigel, who resigned from the WAPO after his private comments mocking conservatives went public and proved exactly what conservatives have been saying all along–that heis hostile to the right and had no business writing a blog called”Inside the conservative movement and Republican [...]
Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Hey, Hey, Hey, Good-Bye Dave Weigel
One of the more irritating things about mainstream media outlets is that they love to hire liberals, but then, for “balance,” they like to hire a matching “conservative,” too, but not just any conservative. No, they want to hire a supposed “conservative” who tells liberals whatever they want to hear about conservatives.
Because the Left controls [...]
The Real McChrystal Scandal: Are We Losing The War In Afghanistan?
There has obviously been a tremendous amount of controversy surrounding the remarks Gen. Stanley McChrystal made to a Rolling Stone reporter about Barack Obama and other members of his administration. That’s understandable. Even the grunts know that they’re not supposed to publicly trash the Commander-in-Chief and McChrystal & his staff certainly knew it, too. So, [...]
The Paul Krugman Con: Social Security
Know what really bugs me about Paul Krugman? It’s that he’s a Nobel Prize winner in economics who’s probably forgotten more about the subject than most of us will ever know. So, what does he do with all that knowledge? Very little, actually. In fact, a large part of his shtick is to say ridiculously [...]
Why Newspapers Are Dying: The Ann Coulter Edition
Townhall is the big league of conservative punditry. All of the A-List conservative columnists, with the exception of perhaps Mark Steyn, Karl Rove, & Peggy Noonan write for them. Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Michelle Malkin, Charles Krauthammer, Mike Adams, George Will, Jonah Goldberg, Victor Davis Hanson, — they’re all at Townhall, along with a lot [...]
Don’t Take My Word For It, Take Alan Greenspan’s
I might not always agree with Alan Greenspan, but it’s fair to say he’s forgotten more about the economy than most people will ever know. And what he’s saying right now about spending is exactly what conservatives are saying, exactly what the Tea Party is saying, and exactly what much of the country is saying:
Former [...]
Barack Obama Doesn’t Represent How The American People Feel About Britain
One of the most ironic things about liberals is that they constantly fret about our image in the world. “Why that Cowboy George Bush is making people hate us!” If you heard something like that once over the last 8 years, you probably heard it a hundred times.
So, what happens when a liberal like Barack [...]
